Hey everyone,
I was watching the latest Film Riot video (https://youtu.be/8i7Cx4LRQSg?si=hA3T_1TfL4yyJtRg&t=834) and Ryan briefly talked about a company called Decentralized Pictures. While he didn't give a ton of information on it, it sounds really interesting.
"Decentralized Pictures (DCP) is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization seeking to discover new and innovative filmmaking talent. We run a democratic film fund and opportunity pool that allows anyone with internet access to apply for financing or support and also everyone who chooses to a say in deciding who is most deserving of our support. Submit your film idea, and if the world loves it, we’ll help you make it."
It's co-founded by American Zoetrope (the production company Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas founded in the late 60s) and while I've only had a chance to briefly look at the website, it seems like they have a lot of opportunities for screenwriters and directors. There's even a contest (ends Aug 30th) to submit a short or music video that you've filmed within the last five years for the possibility of mentorship and $2,500.
